• • • Few manufacturers can match the thrill of driving a McLaren in any class or specification, and the 570S, the legendary brand's foray into the world of GT4s, is no exception. Powered by a 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 engine and sitting on McLaren's carbon fiber MonoCell II chassis, this highly agile machine is the car of choice for a number of customer race teams competing in GT4 formula series around the world. The 570S GT4 broke cover at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed and made its competitive debut in British GT under the brand's own supervision that same year, allowing customers that took delivery of the cars in 2017 to drive a racer that had been refined in real competition. Since then, it's proven to be a highly popular car with anyone who's driven it, setting a high water mark of 140 global podium finishes in 2019.
